I will have this finished over the weekend. It's been a little tough reliving some of the stories from the Pentagon Parking lot. I should have called my voicemail from Mike's Famous as I said I would!
Scott, thank you for again leading an outstanding route. As I read your research on Kirk, it made me a little angry and upset - not condusive to writing. JoAnne, thank you for your beautiful piece; you nailed the humble personality of Kirk, as well as his proud mother. When we're all done, I'd like to send a copy of that to Bea.
Thanks to all of you for making my first (really) big bike event so special. Dr John and LA Lady - you were missed the whole way north; I had grown accustomed to your headlight in my rearview mirror. I'm embarassed that my efforts to stop the group failed. I'm sorry.
See you this weekend. We need to plan more weekend trips over the summer. Steve, you can be my roommate again - especially if you stay in another room!!!
A few random thoughts to get through the week:
First thing to fly off Stacey's bike: grill lighter (aka cigarette lighter)
The chopper from Dover: ran out of gas on its way into the gas station.
Half the group was booked on the 11:00 ferry returning to NJ. (Someone thought it would be fun to torment the bikers!)
The old couple in the green Honda at the ferry to Delaware, wife asked "What road are you taking?" as if to imply "We're staying off that road!"
The ferry to Delaware. Mario, "She talks too much!"
Most number of miles between gas stops: 102.8. "I'm gonna run out of gas!"
Most expensive thing to fly off Stacey's bike: $100 bill
Number of car accidents caused by a little orange bikini top: 72 Normal Cruising speed: 72 MPH Number of drinks consumed by DEK between 5:30 and 7:30: 72
Number of things to fly off Stacey's bike: 72 (or was that get off????)
Taming of the Shrew, by Mario Lopez
The bike that got us there, Dr John and LA Lady (thanks GPS!!!)
1983 was a good a year. At least it was Saturday night!
"OH NO! Let me explain - YOU WILL GET US TOWELS!"
Gin and tonic with a twist of lime. Hold the tonic. Hold the lime. Hold the ice - hell, just give me the bottle, it'll be gone by 7:30! "
Excuse me Miss, you want me to put my parking permit on my dash???"
Dunkin Donuts Hot Chocolate: $3.89
Shuttle Van: $229 per night. Comes with free bed at hotel.
Shuttle Van driver delivering hot chocolate to a certain Hotel Manager on behalf of a guest: Priceless.
Good night all!
